Instructions

Step 1: Brew the Green Tea

Start by brewing your green tea according to package instructions. Typically, you’ll want to steep it in hot water for about 2-3 minutes. Once brewed, let it cool down to room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, you can pop it in the fridge for a quicker chill!

Step 2: Prepare the Mint and Coconut Base

In a glass or cocktail shaker, combine the mint leaves and honey (or sweetener of choice). Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently muddle the mint, releasing all its fragrant oils.

Step 3: Mix the Mocktail

Add the brewed green tea, coconut milk, and lime juice to the glass or shaker with the mint. Stir or shake until everything is well combined.

Step 4: Add Ice

Fill a glass with ice cubes, then pour the mixture over the ice. This will keep the drink cool and refreshing.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

Garnish your Shamrock Coconut Mint Green Tea Mocktail with a fresh mint sprig and a lime wedge. Serve immediately, and enjoy!

Additional Tips

Sweetness Level

Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less honey to taste. If you prefer a sugar-free version, try a sugar substitute like stevia or agave nectar.

Add a Splash of Coconut Extract

For an even stronger coconut flavor, try adding a small splash of coconut extract to the drink. It’ll really elevate the coconut notes and give you that tropical feel.

Make it a Mocktail or Cocktail

If you’d like to turn this into a cocktail, add a splash of rum or vodka for an adult version of the drink. Just keep in mind that it’ll no longer be alcohol-free.

Minty Freshness

For a more intense mint flavor, muddle the mint leaves longer. This will release more of the mint’s essential oils, giving your mocktail an extra refreshing kick.
